Machinery Troubleshooting
Let’s start the conversation…
Our approach
Our approach to machinery troubleshooting and machinery failure analysis is rooted in a structured, fact based methodology aimed at pinpointing the underlying issues affecting your equipment’s performance. We can either investigate on your behalf or provide facilitation and mentoring.
Our Methodology:
- Thorough Assessment: We conduct comprehensive evaluations, gathering data and analysing the machinery’s historical performance, maintenance records, and operational conditions.
- Expertise In Measurement: We have the expertise and specialist equipment to reveal the details of machinery behavior essential to understanding root causes.
- Fact-Based Analysis: Through systematic and data-driven analysis, we uncover the factual evidence required to trace issues back to their origins, ensuring accuracy in our findings.
Benefits of machinery troubleshooting and failure analysis:
- Precision in problem solving: Getting to the root cause allows targeted solutions, eliminating recurring issues and preventing future breakdowns.
- Optimised maintenance strategies: Our structured approach aids in the development of tailored maintenance strategies, enhancing equipment reliability and longevity.
- Cost Efficiency: Identifying root causes avoids unnecessary repeat repairs and minimizes downtime, saving both time and resources.
In-depth Vibration Analysis
At Pragmatic, we specialise in advanced and comprehensive vibration analysis services. Vibration analysis is a powerful technique used to assess machinery health, and our expertise lies in delivering in-depth insights that drive proactive maintenance strategies.
Our Methodology:
- Multi-channel transient analysis for large machines & machines with flexible shafts,
- Long term monitoring to catch intermittent problems,
- Identify and solve problems due to unbalance, misalignment, resonance, rubbing, unsteady flow, self-excited vibrations, instability, and more.
- Measurement of operational deflection shapes to identify weak structures, soft foot etc.,
- Test solutions through virtual modelling and redesign,
- Practical solutions for resonance problems using dynamic absorbers.
In-Situ Balancing
We offer effective on-site services for balancing of rotating machinery.
…from 787 tonne flywheel generators to 25,000 rpm gas compressors…
Where unbalance is the cause of excess vibration, we carry out in-situ balancing, avoiding the need for equipment to be removed from service and sent to a workshop. In-situ balancing ensures the rotor is balanced at its operating speed and conditions, which cannot be achieved on a workshop balancing machine.
We can offer:
- Single plane balancing
- Two plane balancing
- Balancing of flexible rotors
